I am 76 years old. retired several years ago. .. i filed self employed last year for 2019, but I had some bad health problems. should i file just federal for 2020?

do i need to start all over, to file just federal,? and how do I do that?

That depends if you had enough taxable income int 2020 to require filing.

If self-employed in 2020 and more than $400 SE income then you must file, otherwise if your income is less than $14,500 and single then you need not file.

But I got to use the deductions.. but last year, hardly worked at all ,! So even deductions were neel.. What do you think? Is best for me to do ? Stay with Self-Employed or federal ez?
